1964 The Beatles Concert Ticket Stub Dallas Memorial Auditorium PSA 1.5

  

1964 The Beatles concert ticket stub September 18th at the Dallas Memorial Auditorium. This was The Beatles' only concert in Dallas, Texas. They topped a bill which also included, in order of appearance, The Bill Black Combo, The Exciters, Clarence'Frogman' Henry, and Jackie DeShannon. When the group arrived in Dallas they were driven to the Cabana Motor Hotel, which was then owned by Doris Day. There were chaotic scenes outside the Cabana, with fans pressing so hard against a glass door that it broke.

The Beatles' journey from their car to the building's rear entrance proved equally hazardous, with both George Harrison and Ringo Starr losing their footing in the mêlée. At the Dallas Memorial Auditorium, the stage was three times the normal height for a Beatles concert.

A telephoned bomb threat delayed the start of the show, although no bombs were found. However, during the search a number of fans were discovered hiding under the stage and in washrooms.
